The Clio R.S.18 Limited Edition will go on sale in the UK in May. The
Clio R.S.18 is inspired by this year’s Renault Sport Racing Formula One
Team racecar of the same name and has a distinctive black theme with
hallmark Renault Sport Liquid Yellow highlights. Due to public demand
after announcing the Renault Clio R.S.18 for continental Europe in
January, 15 right-hand drive versions will be available for UK
customers, making the R.S.18 one of the most exclusive Renault Sport
versions to have ever been sold here. Based on the Clio R.S. 220 Trophy,
the limited edition version will be priced at £24,295 OTR. Orders will
open on 1
st May 2018, and first customer deliveries will take place from mid-June this year.

The
Clio R.S.18 stands out compared with the rest of the Clio Renault Sport
range thanks to its Deep Black and Liquid Yellow colour scheme. The
Renault diamond, R.S. logo and rear diffuser are all finished entirely
in Black Gloss – an appearance exclusively for the Clio R.S.18 to create
a powerful road presence. R.S.18 diamond decals on the front doors and
roof provide a direct reference to the look of the R.S.18 Renault Sport
Racing Formula One Team car. The striking look includes Liquid Yellow
detailing on the front blade, protective side mouldings and wheel centre
caps.

Each Clio R.S.18 comes with a numbered kick plate. The
Alcantara and leather-trimmed steering wheel and carbon fibre-effect air
vent surrounds contribute to the cabin’s premium, yet sporty, feel.
Renault Sport-branded carpet mats are also standard.

The Clio
R.S.18 receives an Akrapovič sports exhaust as standard ensuring a
powerful engine sound and improved responsiveness. It has the same
engine and transmission as the Clio R.S. 220 Trophy – a 1.6-litre 220hp
engine with a six-speed Efficient Dual Clutch (EDC) automatic
transmission.

The Clio R.S.18 receives the same high
specification as the Clio R.S. 220 Trophy including R.S. Drive enabling a
choice of three driving modes (Normal, Sport and Race) and Launch
Control enabling the fastest possible getaway off the line in Sport and
Race mode. R.S. Vision lighting makes high performance at night possible
with four lights – side, fog, high-beam and cornering – combined into
one housing shaped like the Renault Sport chequered flag. Larger brake
discs have improved braking performance by around five per cent over the
previous Clio R.S. and Hydraulic Compression Control, a rally-bred
damper technology that helps the car perform as comfortable day-to-day
transport as well as a pin-sharp track car.
